That *may* be your problem.  e.g. Up until now, all the files in
the /boot directory that GRUB needed to read at start up were in
locations that the BIOS could reach.  But over time, as files get
written, modified, etc. (new kernels installed, grub.conf rewritten),
the data has moved into areas that it can't.
